Myelodysplasia is a topical problem of childhood neurology. The early diagnosis and treatment of myelodysplasia prevents the development of severe neurological symptomatology. Twenty patients with myelodysplasia were investigated using clinical, electroneuromyographic, and thermographic methods of examination. Electroneuromyography included determination of the bulbocavernous reflex which served as an objective criterion of the status of the lumbosacral portion of the spinal cord. Early diagnosis of myelodysplasia makes it possible to conduct preventive therapy including electrostimulation of the spinal cord or perform surgical intervention when indicated in children with this pathology.

Background: This study compared the ventilatory variables and computed tomography (CT) features of patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) versus those of patients with pulmonary non-COVID-19-related acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) during the early phase of ARDS.

Methods: This prospective, observational cohort study of ARDS patients in Taiwan was performed between February 2017 and June 2018 as well as between October 2020 and January 2024. Analysis was performed on clinical characteristics, including consecutive ventilatory variables during the first week after ARDS diagnosis.

Background: The variety of shocks in neonates, if not recognized and treated immediately, is a major cause for fatality. The use of echocardiography may improve assessment and treatment, but its reference values across gestational age (GA) and birth weight (BW) are lacking. To address the information gap, this study aimed at correlating GA and BW of newborns with nonhemodynamic abnormalities, and at evaluating the usefulness of such reference values in neonates with early onset septic (EOS) -shock.

Background: Mycoplasma pneumoniae (M pneumoniae, MP) is a common pathogen causing respiratory tract infections, particularly in children. In 2023, a resurgence of MP epidemics was observed in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China. This study aims to examine the epidemiological trends and clinical characteristics of MP infections among children in Wuhan from 2018 to 2024, providing valuable scientific evidence to guide local prevention strategies.

Introduction: Early antibiotic administration is one of the core treatments of sepsis which associated with reduced mortality rate. However, the appropriate timing of antibiotics remains a controversial issue, especially in patients without septic shock. Here, we reported the outcomes of early antibiotic administration within one hour from the time of infection suspicion in a tertiary care hospital.
